Versatile Sword Cultivator

At this moment, Lin Jichen's sleeves billowed, his robes fluttering in the wind. The Qingming Sword in his hand had turned a crimson red, its sword aura blazing like fire.

Lin Jichen swung his sword!

The blade effortlessly sliced through Tu Ganglie's chest.

[-11550!]

Hiss!

The women behind him gasped at the damage.

"Damn! Is Little Lin cheating?"

"Is this some kind of Ultimate Technique? There's no buildup at all."

"A single sword strike breaking ten thousand damage? A Gathering Spirit Realm BOSS?"

"Idol! As expected of my idol~ Fighting~"

"Looks like Little Chen can take down this BOSS."

"Go, Brother Lin~ Brother Lin is the best~ Defeat the big bad guy!"

...

At this moment, Tu Ganglie's eyes were wide with rage. Seeing Lin Jichen's second sword strike coming, he hurriedly raised his arm to block, trying to prevent the opponent from hitting his weak point.

But it seemed he didn't notice that the previous strike wasn't even aimed at a weak point!

Even if attacking different parts would result in varying damage, this kind of damage had nothing to do with weak points.

Lin Jichen saw him blocking with his arm and remained unfazed, calmly slicing through Tu Ganglie's arm with his sword.

[-11211!]

The damage was slightly less, but the difference was negligible.

This was an advanced combo move that Lin Jichen had developed himself, allowing him to maximize his output instantly.

Unlike Ultimate Techniques that required charging and timing, this combo could be executed instantly, relying on normal attacks to achieve maximum output!

Lin Jichen began to unleash a flurry of sword strikes, forcing Tu Ganglie to frantically block with his hammer while retreating rapidly.

This guy is insane!

A casual sword strike could severely injure him. Tu Ganglie didn't dare to take it head-on. He knew Lin Jichen's state must be temporary, so he tried to avoid him and buy time.

But with nearly a 200-point speed difference between them, how could he just walk away?

Moreover, Lin Jichen had other helpers.

"Icebound World!"

Jiang Luoyu, holding a staff, chanted a spell, causing the entire second floor of the prison to freeze over.

Tu Ganglie's speed slowed down.

"Prison of Confinement!"

Niu Naitang waved her small hand, forming a seal. A phantom chessboard appeared under Tu Ganglie's feet, trapping him within its boundaries.

With the dual effects of slowing and confinement, Lin Jichen had the perfect opportunity and environment to unleash his attacks.

Lin Jichen continued to strike, each sword blow taking a significant chunk of Tu Ganglie's health.

Despite Tu Ganglie's desperate attempts to block, even placing the giant black hammer in front of him to deflect most attacks, Lin Jichen's strikes were so precise that they always found an opening.

Even a mere graze on the arm could cause terrifying damage.

Seeing his vitality dwindling, Tu Ganglie stopped dodging.

He swung his giant black hammer, smashing it into the ground.

The hammer created a barrier, automatically pushing Lin Jichen away.

Inside the barrier, Tu Ganglie managed to catch his breath.

But he hadn't lost his fighting spirit. On the contrary, he stared at Lin Jichen and suddenly roared.

All his mana channeled through the hammer's handle, merging him with the giant black hammer.

The hammer emitted a blinding beam of light, and Tu Ganglie, bathed in holy light, underwent a dramatic transformation.

"Reincarnation Desperate Kill!"

Tu Ganglie activated his final skill, raising the giant black hammer and pointing it at Lin Jichen. A beam of light shot out.

Lin Jichen tried to dodge but found that the light had already locked onto him.

Hit by the beam, Lin Jichen suddenly felt his body stiffen, as if forcibly dragged into a domain space.

The second floor of the prison vanished, and Ren Lan and the others were nowhere to be seen. All around him was endless darkness.

Apart from the darkness, there was a raging wind, with countless flying stones rolling, blinding Lin Jichen.

The women outside were also shocked, realizing that Lin Jichen and Tu Ganglie had disappeared.

"Where's Little Lin?" Ren Lan looked around but saw no one.

"I don't know. It seems he's been taken by the opponent's Ultimate Technique. No one has passed this Hell difficulty Secret Realm's Snowstorm Prison before," Jiang Luoyu said, frowning.

***

At this moment, Lin Jichen was trapped in a domain, unable to escape no matter what he tried.

He watched helplessly as the 'Heart Devour' effect of the Qingming Sword faded, and the active effect of the Returning to Origin Sword Art went into cooldown.

He was powerless.

Because he knew this was the effect of Tu Ganglie's Ultimate Technique.

Tu Ganglie was surely hiding in the shadows, waiting for Lin Jichen's state to revert before appearing.

Sure enough, as the Qingming Sword returned to its original color, Tu Ganglie appeared.

In this dark space, Tu Ganglie's figure had grown enormous, surrounded by overwhelming demonic energy.

He looked like a giant of the night, holding a giant hammer, standing before Lin Jichen.

Lin Jichen had to look up to see his face, his features twisted and demonic, like a descending demon god.

[Reincarnation Desperate Kill effect: Your attributes decrease by 30%, the opponent's attributes increase by 15%, lasting for two minutes!]

Seeing this, Lin Jichen didn't panic but instead showed a look of regret.

If only the Eye of Insight could steal this skill, it would be a godly skill for duels.

Forcing a 1V1.

But unfortunately, this skill couldn't be used by him!

Lin Jichen couldn't help but feel a bit regretful.

Seeing Tu Ganglie approaching step by step, Lin Jichen seemed unconcerned by the attribute reduction curse and continued to slash at him with his sword!

But with a 30% reduction in attributes and the loss of Heart Devour and Crippled effects, Lin Jichen's attacks became weak and powerless.

[-MISS!]

With a 30% reduction in strength, Lin Jichen's normal attacks could no longer break through Tu Ganglie's defense.

Tu Ganglie grinned wickedly, swinging his giant hammer and sending Lin Jichen flying.

[-7144!]

Lin Jichen fell heavily to the ground, severely injured, but like an undying cockroach, he attacked Tu Ganglie again.

It was as if their roles had reversed. Tu Ganglie's attacks seemed effortless now.

Each hammer strike hit Lin Jichen, while Lin Jichen was repeatedly sent flying back.

Hammered away, coming back, hammered away, coming back!

Lin Jichen was like an undying cockroach, persisting in attacking despite knowing he couldn't win, as if he was ready to die heroically.

After several rounds, Lin Jichen's health was less than half.

Tu Ganglie had the upper hand and was very pleased, habitually waiting for Lin Jichen to come to his death.

But this time, Lin Jichen didn't come. Instead, he stood still, motionless.

Tu Ganglie was puzzled, and at this moment, Lin Jichen suddenly clasped his hands together and began chanting a spell.

In an instant, Lin Jichen's figure turned into a cloud of black mist, disappearing into the darkness.

Tu Ganglie rushed over with his giant hammer, only to find Lin Jichen... gone!

"Desperate Hell Kill!"

Lin Jichen used Jiang Guimian's Ultimate Technique.

Successfully entering an invincible and invisible state.

Tu Ganglie looked around, searching for Lin Jichen.

Suddenly, from the void, a sword thrust out, piercing Tu Ganglie's heart!

[Critical Hit! -6300!]

Tu Ganglie felt a sharp pain and turned around instantly, but the sword had already disappeared.

Just as he was stunned, a stabbing pain came from his back again!
